I was excited to get Kobe Tai anal adventure kit in the mail and set aside an evening to play with it.  I put a large soft towel on my bed, and gave all the items a try.

I started with the small butt plugs; the smallest one slid in easy and was pretty comfortable.  This would be a great starter toy for any anal beginner; it is really small, goes in easily and comes out easily.  The small softgel butt plug was next, this was a little harder to slide in because it is very flexible, but it felt great and was a little more filling than the other one.  I noticed that this one's base looked like it could stick nicely to surfaces, sort of like the plastic cups that attach shower accessories, so I also had some fun with it in the shower later.  I can highly recommend "sticking" it to the rim of the bath, lubing it up and sitting on it under a hot shower.

Next I tried the jelly anal beads.  This is the only part of the kit that I really did not like.  They look soft, but are actually pretty hard with some rough surfaces.  They are also far too long for a beginner; if you are going to slide these in even 3/4 of their full length, I suggest cleansing your bowels with an enema kit first, otherwise they will make things terribly messy when they are pulled out.  I had to take a shower break and get a fresh towel before carrying on.  I can imagine these scaring beginners away from using anal beads again.

The vibrator was fairly typical, not too noisy, and strong enough to feel good.  The sleeves have a good texture and size.  I preferred the ribbed one to the penis-like one; it was great to slide in and out slowly.  A tip for beginners using this kit solo: if you want to also use your fingers on your clitoris and nipples, but your anal vibrator or dildo keeps sliding out, put some panties on to keep it in, works great!  My only complaint about these would be that it is really hard to change between the sleeves, so maybe plan on using one per session if you don't like interruptions.  Note that batteries are not included for the vibrator.

The lube was great; I have always used liquid-type lubes before, so I didn't even know there were lubes like this.  This lube squeezes out sort of like hand cream, but a bit less thick and more sticky, and it doesn't drip.  I highly recommend this;  it makes the whole anal experience less messy, and without being any less slippery than other lubes.  It's also great for people who worry a little about anal lube accidentally getting in your vagina. I will be buying more separately when it runs out.

Overall, I recommend this, but suggest either getting an enema kit, or purchasing a different set of anal beads.  I look forward to trying the toys on my partner when he is back in town; he is very skittish about anal toys, but I think he will be able to handle at least the smallest two butt plugs.

My summary: great kit for a beginner, except for the beads.
